Nebraska is joining a league whose hubris equals their own.
They are calling their divisions "Legends" and "Leaders." Does anything more really need to be said? The "Classiest Fans in the Nation" will fit in quite well.

Really Delany?
Delany said the names were chosen by looking “to our history and look to our future,” Delany said. “There was no way we could put geographic names on these.”
Umm…east and west come to mind. You would think with such esteemed academics the geographical separation would have been obvious.
The dumb bastards have been calling themselves the Big 10 for years, with 11 teams
And now they’re still the Big 10, with 12 teams!
(Yes, I know the Big XII might keep its name with 10 teams, but that isn’t confirmed yet so I can make fun of the Big 10.)
Fire Chris Cosh!
Umm...

Still confused, but okay.

Would have made about as much sense, and would have been funnier.

That's as bad as that ridiculous spiro-graph they put on their basketball court for the conference tourney.

It's ironic how the T is styled the same way Texas does theirs.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White

My God, Dan Beebe's gotten to them too!

"The new Big Ten logo was developed to symbolize the conference's future"
Yeah the “I” is a 1 and the “G” looks like a 6.
What is it they know?
Brilliant!
We now know their secret plan. Quick, inform Beebe!
…
Wait, that’s just a waste of time. Inform DeLoss Dodds!
Fire Chris Cosh!
Worst logo ever?

That HAS to be faked, right?!?

I literally thought that said Compsters at first
definitely a bad design, although the briefly lived new Gap logo was pretty bad too.

Umm...
I’m pretty sure that the problem isn’t that the “U” looks like an “S.” It looks like SOMETHING other than a “U”, though…

I saw that immediately
Doesn’t mean that I didn’t read ‘Compsters’ before realizing it was ‘Computers’.

Okay.
From how you worded it, I thought you’d missed the imagery! :)

The trail on the ground behind it...
as if someone were dragging a third leg, if you will.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight

I'm going to have to play the dissident here
I like the B1G logo without the Ten underneath. And if you follow this link there are some images to project how the logo would look in the real world.
Yeah, the logo is a little too “iPoddish”, but I like it better than the old one. And, as BlackCats points out, would work well for a 16 team league if they were actually looking to expand to that number.

I agree with dropping the TEN underneath.
If you don’t get it you are not the intended audience. After all these are higher academic universities we are talking about.
The "Michigan" and "Ohio State" divisions.
ok, I’m going to quit now.

Actually,
I was going to go with the “Ohio State” and “Everyone Else” divisions.
"Dumb" and "Dumber"
divisions? Seriously, they are drawing all sorts of attention with this – the negative kind. I guess it’s a good test of the adage “Negative publicity is better than no publicity” or however that goes…
